Starting August 31, the Toronto Eaton Centre will be extending its operating hours.

The venue will be open 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays.

The decision came out of research which indicated that tenants and shoppers are interested in having the option to shop during the hours many other retailers within the GTA consider standard hours of operation, said the operators.

“Ultimately it is our responsibility to offer the utmost convenience for our guests, which includes providing competitive accessibility to our retailers,” said Meredith Vlitas, Senior Marketing Director, Toronto Eaton Centre.

The extended hours will run until Jan. 1 then be reviewed to determine the viability of continuing.

“Through our extended hours of operation, Toronto Eaton Centre looks to maintain its position as the preferred urban shopping destination in downtown Toronto, and in turn, provide our tenants with optimal time to meet consumer demands and achieve business success,” said Susan Allen, general manager, Toronto Eaton Centre.
